Woody Guthrie

Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) was an American singer-songwriter and folk musician whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children's songs, ballads and improvised works. He frequently performed with the slogan This Machine Kills Fascists displayed on his guitar. His best-known song is "This Land Is Your Land." Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress. Such songwriters as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Pete Seeger, Joe Strummer, Billy Bragg, Jeff Tweedy and Tom Paxton have acknowledged Guthrie as a major influence. more »

I been a-havin'some hard travelin', 
I thought you knowed. 
I been a-havin'some hard travelin', 
Way down the road. 
I been a-havin'some hard travelin', 
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin', 
I been a-havin'some hard travelin', Lord. 
I been a-workin' in a hard rock tunnel, 
I thought you knowed; 
I been a-leanin'on a pressure drill, 
Way down the road. 
Hammer flyin', air hose suckin', 
Six feet of mud, I sure been a-muckin', 
I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord. 
I been a-workin' that Fittsburgh steel, 
I thought you knowed; 
I been a-workin' that red-hot slag, 

Way down the road. 
I been a-blastin', I been a-firin', 
I been a-duckin' red-hot iron, 
I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord. 
I been hittin' some hard harvestin', 
I thought you knowed; 
I been hittin' some rough handlin', 
Way down the road; 
Cut that wheat and stack that hay, 
Tryin' to make about a dollar a day, 
I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord. 
I been a-hittin' that Lincoln Highway, 
I thought you knowed; 
I been a-hittin' that sixty-six, 
Way down the road; 
Heavy load and a worried mind, 
Lookin' for a woman that's hard to find, 
I been a-havin' some hard travelin', Lord.
